I had recently bought a laptop. Among the chief reason why I was compelled to buy it was the fact that "it had a 128 GB SSD".

Upon inspection, I can't seem to directly confirm it. I tried three different ways to arrive at the disk media type, but it all said the same thing: Fixed hard disk.

Does this mean that the laptop actually contains a hard drive rather than an SSD?

To answer my own question:

You can check the media type of a drive by going to Defragment and Optimize your devices

I had just learned about it now. Regards to those who contributed.

A "Fixed Hard Drive" is NOT an SSD (Solid State) drive.

Open Device Manager and look under Disk Drive(s). What drives do you see?

That will be the reliable source to tell you what you have.

You can put the identifier from Device Manager into Google and it will tell you what it is.
